Sports betting operator Betfred Sports has officially launched online betting in Virginia, its tenth state. The company was previously announced as USL’s Loudoun United FC‘s official sports betting partner and will be the back-of-jersey sponsor for the home and away kits for the 2023 USL Championship Season.
Bryan Bennett, COO of Betfred USA Sports, said: “We are excited to finally begin online operations in the Commonwealth of Virginia and look forward to activating our partnership with Loudoun United.”
“This is the ideal time to launch sports betting with several major sporting events happening over the coming weeks and months, and of course, with the USL Championship season kicking off soon,” he added.
For his part, Doug Raftery, Loudoun United FC Executive Business Officer, commented: “We’re excited to introduce the Red-and-White Community to our sports betting partner, Betfred.”
“You can expect to see a prominent presence from Betfred at home games and various online club channels. We look forward to a fantastic 2023 season and helping to scale our business together,” he concluded.
